Very nice restaurant, we ate super well, the owners were very approachable and funny, recommended!!!!☺️ (12/16/2024)

Unique place in all (positive) aspects

We stayed here on November 1st, taking advantage of the visit to Calcata by booking several days in advance. Despite the early arrival they kindly let us sit in this characteristic restaurant, typical of the village; we know the owner by sight, Adolfino, a very easygoing gentleman and ready to order, we discover that several dishes were not available, dishes that changed depending on the waiter we spoke to. I understand that it was a party and that we had a bit of trouble choosing what to eat (the menu change had changed our plans) but despite this we still didn't like seeing the waitress roll her eyes clearly annoyed. We also witnessed a genocide of flies by a waiter who, intent on keeping the window open, decided to kill them with his bare hands above our table, one by one. Even the bathroom was not overly clean. Having said that, excellent prices, excellent quantity and quality of food which is certainly valid: meat, vegetables and tender, quality porcini mushrooms. unfortunately the gnocchi were clearly and confirmed to be packaged... they arrived soupy and some things ordered did not arrive while others not ordered arrived on the table. I like to think that since it was a party, we found ourselves unprepared for the unexpected amount of people!

But how much did I like this place? Informal and a bit chatty environment. Original furnishings and tasty food. Located at the entrance to old Calcata, not to be missed if you are in the area.

Luca, a dear friend of mine and friend of Adolfo the owner, sent us. Adolfo is truly an exquisite person Excellent and homemade food Family environment. Numbers 1, to find places like this

Very good home cooking. I highly recommend

Osteria that fits well into the context of Calcata which is a characteristic village with old-fashioned living. The innkeeper is a character with a constant presence who at times might seem cumbersome but isn't. He is like that!!! Apart from the starters... good, we ate some fettuccine with wild boar which deserves a 10. The asking price was excellent with a playful spirit, I would go back.

All very good, great Adolfino Salvatore top

Very quaint, excellent food and very friendly staff.
